And experience with this company?Tue, 06 Nov 2012 09:50:40 GMTbaal32http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1379101-391-1.aspxI took the mentored training at New Horizons and I liked that a lot. Had the video training in the classroom and got to go as fast or as slow as I needed and had an instructor there for any clarification and questions. It was also cheaper.Wed, 31 Oct 2012 07:08:09 GMTWant a cool Sighttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1379101-391-1.aspxI just finished a 5 day SQL2k8 administration class from New Horizons. I liked it. My preference was in-person training with an instructor but that's hard to find in my area plus I had to use New Horizons b/c we had vouchers.The instructor knew his stuff and it covered what I would consider topics that spilled in to a developer role more than an administration role but not much and I liked that.My only issue is the speed - it can be slow. Their instructors speak sloooooooooooooowly and they give more time than needed for the labs but we managed to cover all the material.
